Chapter two
"I thought you didn't like Shacklebolt, or Harry Potter and the Weasely's! That you thought. And I quote 'they are filthy blood traitors and they should died while the dark lord was in power'"
"Yes I do but their fame will boost our fame!" I honestly do not think my family could sink any lower
"Anyway, Kano do you want to come out to Diagon alley with me and your father to get you some new dress robes for this evening?"
"I would love to mother" my ever ass kissing brother replied. At that moment an owl flew toward the large glass windows. I took my wand from my hair and used it to open a window. My hair fell down landing around my face. A large gray owl flew through the now open window, landed next to me and extended its leg.
I untied the two letters from its leg and smiled as I saw the familiar Hogwarts crest. I gave the owl a small piece of bacon of my plate as a thank you and it flew off. I turned around to see my family looking at me peculiarly.
"Hogwarts letters are here" I said still grinning, handing my brother his. They all snapped their looks away from me.
"Aille there was no need to show off like that!" my mother snapped at me.
"What did I show off about I just opened the window for the owl?" I asked generally confused.
"You know what you did swirling your hair like that and using magic" oh jeez sorry I rolled me eyes and went about opening my letter and checking my results.
"Yes all O's!" I smiled, I love knowing things. I have a thirst for knowledge; I suppose that's why I'm in Ravenclaw. I read over my letter then realised there was still a lump in the envelope. I picked it up and turned the envelope upside down. A shiny badge landed in my palm. I picked it up and examined the writing. Prefect! Yes!
I turned to my family!
"I made prefect! and I got all O's in my subjects" I exclaimed joyously.
My father turned to me, "Aille stop showing off! Your brother may have got worse exam results but he's the new quiddicht captain of Slytherin. That's much more important that being a prefect"
"Yes," my mother agreed "we're going to treat him to a new broom. And to get him his books and dress robes. Now go and get ready no doubt it will take all day for you to look acceptable. I had never felt more loved in my life. Without a word I turned and ran to my room. I flung the door open and went straight to my trunk I pulled out my record player and some old muggle records and put it on, then flung myself on my mattress. I lay there for a while before I heard a loud crack.
"Missy has brought miss her new dress, miss" I looked at the house elf.
"Thank you can you hang it on the door please" I smiled at the house elf.
"Yes miss" with that there was a short pause then a crack and she was gone.
I turned to look at the dress my mother had picked for me, it was hideous. It was Barbie pink! Erg the straps were plain and strappy but then it had net sticking up out of the bust, with a lighter pink corset thing. And a massive net skirt that went out for ages.
No way am I wearing this! I walked over to my wardrobe to pick out another dress but they were all gone.
Oh she has got to be joking. Aright then I'll just make a few alterations. I spent two hours making the dress better, with a few minor changes. I stood back and admired my work. The dress was now black with two three quarter length sleeves, came in at the waist and floated graciously to the floor. Ha and this is why I got an O in transfiguration. Much better, now I'll look nice, Not like a big piece of tacky pink fluff.
I looked in the mirror; I applied a dark red lip stick and put on some eyeliner.
I opened my window and took a red flower from the window box and enchanted it to stay fresh looking and placed it in my hair. I pulled my hair up in to a bun, leaving a few strands stray and replaced my wand there once again. I was ready to face this ball, and my mother's furry. Actually I might just avoid my mother and stay near someone famous so she can't yell at me. Yep that works for me. Hey don't judge me I'm not a Gryffindor.
Missy comes back to my room to let me know that the ball is about to begin and I'm to be announce in 5 minutes. I looked in the mirror. And double checked my hair, oh stuff it I'm going to be yelled at and get disapproving looks anyway.
I walked down to the hall in front of the ball room. I saw my family, my father and brother were wearing similar black dress robes. My mother she was wearing an emerald dress that was big and puffy. Her hair was loose and her makeup was perfect. She was also looking a bit red in the face, a bit like she was about to explode.
"Mother, father you look lovely, as do you Kano" I said smiling.
"What... er... how.." my mother floundered like a fish out of water. "I'm Going to..." luckily for me she was interrupted.
"Aille Agostino's"
"Woops, better go mum, see you later" I walked past her and to the large double doors. Which were opened by the wizard announcer on the other side. I took a deep breath and strolled threw them smiling. I looked over the crowd of people for familiar faces. I was happy to see Luna Lovegood, the daughter of my old tutor, professor McGonagall and my two of my only friends Albus Potter and friend Scorpius Malfoy. This ball may even be fun, if I can avoid my mother.
